LIVE FROM THE EDINBURGH FRINGE: Final Queen! The drag horror spectacular

00:00:00: That's where I am, we're back.

00:00:02: Another episode from Edinburgh and giving my voice down because now having to record episodes on the hoof into my little microphone just stood outside in Edinburgh.

00:00:12: being in Scotland for like a week.

00:00:14: We've got a few specials And they are going be running some episodes with really interesting people at The Edinburgh Fringe, twenty-twenty six

00:00:20: up

00:00:20: until the end of festival which is sadly In a way but today Got a good episode lined up and some great chats.

00:00:29: this week as well, As we bring Outcast World to you live from the fringe.

00:00:34: My guest today is bringing me something that I promise You have never seen before.

00:00:39: And i don't say that lately because when The press release landed on my desk describing a drag circus horror comedy about a queer performer road-tripping through Australian outback To auditions for Kylie Minogue encountering chainsaw wielding bush rangers and slasher villains along the way somebody lost their mind.

00:00:59: Now having been on a road trip myself recently, not in Australia but through the Badlands of Scotland, The Highlands I kind of felt like it really fitted.

00:01:11: so i thought... Yeah, which tells you everything about why this show is the way it.

00:01:30: Is an underneath all account and all the go.

00:01:33: ignore that chicken there Underneath all ago complete as a chick nearly um There's a genuinely moving arguments about queer survival.

00:01:44: I have in Edinburgh.

00:01:45: This isn't saying that was a cockerel Underneath on.

00:01:49: that wasn't a sound effect by.

00:01:50: those are genuine Underneath all the gore, there's a genuinely moving argument about what we call queer survival.

00:01:57: About who the real monsters are and about The Drag Queen.

00:02:01: Yeah as the ultimate final girl We caught up after the opening night so he was still riding in high and honestly He was... Honestly this is one of my favorite conversations at the whole fringe.

00:02:13: I'm moving away from these chickens.

00:02:14: This is my chat with Harrison, Harrison Sweeney Who it's?

00:02:18: Uh..the person behind One or two people behind that.

00:02:20: i've closed the door here.

00:02:22: This is madness closing this door here in the secretary room.

00:02:26: But yeah, he

00:02:27: basically made a show with his longtime theater sort of partner And it's just that mad idea.

00:02:33: Here's my chat with Harrison.

00:03:02: So

00:03:06: you've arrived,

00:03:08: uh... You

00:03:08: are at the fringe.

00:03:10: It all started last night.

00:03:12: How was it and how were you feeling?

00:03:14: Uh this show went really well.

00:03:15: I was really happy with it.

00:03:17: We had a great audience.

00:03:18: Um Yeah i think for our first preview Voting really well.

00:03:24: all the technical elements went really, really smoothly and Yeah couldn't be happier.

00:03:30: Really after a first first preview

00:03:32: good was the Press in there last night?

00:03:35: The would have been less than I wouldn't know.

00:03:37: yeah We had a reviewer in last night And it just published their review.

00:03:42: four stars.

00:03:43: so feeling really really pleased with everything you

00:03:47: ever felt like going over to them.

00:03:48: go why wasn't it five?

00:03:52: I do say that it's like the first of all, they're like come on.

00:03:55: What was the difference?

00:03:56: What is the line there?

00:03:58: Tell me!

00:03:59: So i think some of the jokes were a bit too australian for them.

00:04:01: perhaps so...

00:04:02: Okay right alright There's always something you know when its like well that The Extra Star.

00:04:06: It's always very specific.

00:04:08: I had Leila Navarbeon Like six weeks ago and she Was saying how Timeout gave her four stars out

00:04:16: five because She

00:04:17: fell over during the performance And it was written, I really would have been five but Layla did fall over and it cracked me up honestly.

00:04:25: So

00:04:26: for

00:04:27: anyone who hasn't seen the poster of you covered in blood on a farm gate this is the correct description isn't?

00:04:36: It's unlike anything i think.

00:04:38: um i've ever heard described.

00:04:41: it belongs at The Fringe.

00:04:43: tell us about the show.

00:04:44: yeah so the show is called Final Queen.

00:04:49: We're inspired by Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

00:04:54: And we wanted to mesh those two things together, my co-creator Rachel Kerry pitched this idea to me originally about a year ago and said what if there was a drag queen on a road trip?

00:05:06: Encountering all these different monsters and slasher villains... ...and every one of them was a different circus act.

00:05:14: And so that was sort of the initial idea.

00:05:17: and I thought, yeah.

00:05:17: That sounds insane!

00:05:19: It does sound insane?

00:05:20: Yeah it's a crazy rehearsal process trying to think about all these different things... I mean it was crazy but it was so much fun playing with all this different ideas and seeing how they would fit together How we could turn those different things into a cohesive show.

00:05:40: Yeah, so we've ended up with Grace Lightning and her two drag friends on a road trip through the Outback.

00:05:46: Off to meet Kylie Minogue in audition for Her In Her World Tour And then they get horribly lost in The Outback and end up in this old abandoned farmhouse where they encounter all manner of villains and chainsaw-wielding bush rangers and spooky ghosts and all sorts things have to fight their way out.

00:06:06: We'll see who will survive you know?

00:06:08: It's... It's a hell of an elevator pitch, isn't it?

00:06:12: Like when you explain to people like bear with me right okay.

00:06:15: People must have thought that this is madness but I love it!

00:06:19: Which came first the drag or the

00:06:21: horror?

00:06:23: Oh interesting i think so.

00:06:25: uh Rachel and I have worked before together on some projects and she's a real horror comedy expert.

00:06:32: That's her thing.

00:06:33: And we've done some horror comedy shows Together.

00:06:36: We met about nine years ago When were at drama school together And it was only during lockdown that I started doing drag.

00:06:45: So, uh...I guess the horror came first in that respect.

00:06:50: and then Rachel's like you do track what if we combine them together?

00:06:55: And mash them up.

00:06:57: so yeah she is definitely The Horror Guru on this show!

00:07:06: It's kind of a

00:07:10: bit mad.

00:07:11: Did she have her background in horror or just like, Just a lot of interest in films?

00:07:17: And it's just so passionate!

00:07:19: So she is the film director and theatre director... Right yeah.

00:07:22: ...and her specialisation is horror comedy, theatre and film.

00:07:27: Um..so we've worked together on shows like Alice In Slasherland which has this like, demonic sort-of loose parody of Alice in Wonderland about that devil coming to the world and destroying everything.

00:07:44: And we've done things with like lesbian vampires, country western singers all sorts of crazy silly horror ideas.

00:07:55: so I worked in that genre for a while.

00:07:59: So it's fascinating as you go through other stuff That comes from a very specific mind, doesn't it?

00:08:08: And this is the very specific genre but the direction you've gone down makes perfect sense to me.

00:08:14: So Grace Lightning is described as The Love Child of the final girl trope A queer circus performer and a camp Aussie drag queen.

00:08:23: Sydney Prescott has back-up dancer for Kylie in a lace front.

00:08:27: Where did she come from?

00:08:28: So Grace was my drag persona that emerged during lockdown as sort of, I mean just an expression of gender and performance for myself.

00:08:40: Uh i think you know everyone had their coping mechanism survival mechanism during lock down.

00:08:47: um with all this free time we had.

00:08:50: so mine was to begin playing with drag expression for myself, and then when we started working on the show.

00:09:02: We thought okay well now I need to flesh out this character a little bit more so she kind of emerged as A combination of all The things that i would want from my drag character which is the Kylie Minogue backup dancer the circus performer real Australian drag queen um Aussie humor All Of That And then also fitting her into the context of the show.

00:09:24: And we wanted to really explore that final girl trope, which is you know, The Resilience, The Battler, The Survivor... Which I think lends itself really well to Drag Queens You Know?

00:09:36: We found there was a lot of parallels there.

00:09:39: Drag queens and queer people in society.

00:09:43: so it's sort of natural fit for those two things came together.

00:09:50: I'm feeling...I mean, and know you said it's what Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Priscilla Queen of the Desert but i'm really feelin' Priscilla queen-of-the-desert come right through this.

00:10:00: That must have been as someone who is in drag in Australia, Priscilla king-of-'the desert would've being Nirvana In terms ove.

00:10:11: It's a creative genesis of all of this isn't it?

00:10:13: Of all the sort of drag stuff in Australia.

00:10:17: Taught me thru how much this road trip at venomous snakes, bush rangers with chainsaws.

00:10:24: Have you ever seen I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?

00:10:28: The British TV show where they go to Australia for the summer!

00:10:31: They kind of trade on the same sort of Australian tropes.

00:10:35: and how much of that is exaggerated

00:10:37: Australia?!

00:10:38: And how much if it's just like there's just Australia?

00:10:42: I think its interesting something we talked about a bit during the creation.

00:10:49: We make this a very Australian show.

00:10:52: And we do it in a way that celebrates the Australian culture and doesn't sort of, Make fun of or put it down but were also aware That we're presenting to an international audience.

00:11:02: then I've lived In The UK for few years now knowing what British view Of Australia is i thought It would be fun To play with that, and you know I have so many friends who say like oh i'd love to go Australia but I just couldn't handle the spiders or the bugs.

00:11:19: Yeah

00:11:20: sort of thing.

00:11:21: I'd say

00:11:22: yeah... You're not sitting in a cafe batting away snakes at the spider's you don't like.

00:11:27: It's not bushed

00:11:28: off trial?

00:11:28: no

00:11:29: exactly um.. And I've not seen any of the UK.

00:11:33: I'm a celebrity But I have heard it is happening In The Australian Outback and I thought gosh okay That's the view Of Australia internationally.

00:11:43: So I think there's something fun about leaning into that and playing with the whole stereotypical view of Australia, so we sort-of do make fun of that a little bit.

00:11:54: There is moment in show where she turns around this giant spider on her face which always gets great reaction from audience because it just appears out of nowhere.

00:12:04: Yeah, and that's something really fun to play with.

00:12:11: That view of Australia because it is not the reality but...

00:12:18: And you never woken up a giant spider on your face?

00:12:22: I always think every Australian wakes up with a tarantula right in their nose or something like this!

00:12:30: You should do so out in the bush or something, and you go to the bathroom at night.

00:12:35: You just have to lift a toilet seat up and check all that sort of stuff.

00:12:38: so... Or you check your shoes before put them on if left outside.

00:12:43: I do this anyway.

00:12:44: This is a total tangent, but as a kid i read a book about spiders so that would be less scared of spiders right?

00:12:49: And actually it left me with the lifelong fear of spiders because i knew all about them and how bad some are... ...and still can't use the toilet without checking under it like im in Australia.. ..and i shake my shoes!

00:13:00: And i live in south-east London So idk what's going on there.

00:13:04: The tagline asks who real monsters are.

00:13:10: What's your answer?

00:13:13: I mean, bearing in mind we want people to see it as well.

00:13:15: What's the answer that you want people leaving with?

00:13:18: Oh!

00:13:19: That is a great question...I think We use our tagline To get People to Think About.

00:13:26: You know The broader Implications i guess of the show and And It's not A really Explicitly political show making a comment, but I think there's always a bit of a comment in queer art.

00:13:41: Drag is inherently political and looking at these parallels to drag clean as the final goal... And what we have to do with Queer People To Survive In A World That Increasingly Is Turning The Tide Against Us.

00:14:01: We've seen progress recently pushback and the fight's getting harder.

00:14:09: So I think Dory Vivo is a tension to that, doing it in fun and campy way with Circus and Fake Blood.

00:14:17: all of that yeah just thinking about what else was out there you know?

00:14:25: And less about specific monsters themselves more actually like for queer person navigating world that experience.

00:14:37: So I think what i would like the audience to consider, we don't necessarily answer any of those questions without taking the point-of-art?

00:14:48: No exactly!

00:14:52: You've literally... my little interview plan here.

00:14:56: some people then answered my next four questions with the quality of their answers you just literally wiped out for.

00:15:03: but yeah The Final Girl as one of horror and popular culture's most enduring archetypes.

00:15:10: And horror, and queerness kind of... Why do you think horror and queerness end up sometimes in this kinda way?

00:15:18: Like it is a mad idea but also works doesn't it why?

00:15:24: I think there something interesting like when i was preparing for the show doing research reading about history of the slasher film first sort of made in the, in the sixties and seventies.

00:15:38: they were very considered such a low form of art.

00:15:43: Like you know?

00:15:44: You go to the movies and you see something that makes you scream.

00:15:47: it was like oh that's not considered highbrow art or like...

00:15:51: The B movie kind of thing.

00:15:53: yeah exactly!

00:15:54: And I think if that is also very true of queer films and queer performance um.

00:15:59: and also interestingly enough circus.

00:16:01: you know one hundred years ago circus very much on the outcast of society and wasn't seen as this incredible art form that I think it is today.

00:16:16: So, sort of interesting in a way like all those things have that shared history?

00:16:23: What was your question about horror...

00:16:26: Yeah sometimes I ask questions but four condensed into one.

00:16:30: Yeah, horror and queerness you're on Yeah.

00:16:35: So yeah, there was sort of like this... I mean you look at something like John Waters who has combined those sorts of ideas and these out-there.

00:16:45: very horrific shocking thing.

00:16:49: he's not making slasher films but that energy in that queer art There is.

00:16:59: just the societal view was very interesting to me that those, uh... That's how they were viewed in society and wanting sort of connect them.

00:17:12: And sort of honour the origins of these genres.

00:17:18: um.. In Final Queen?

00:17:22: Is Grace surviving The Outback a metaphor for something you feel like you've lived or is it just a fun story?

00:17:31: Oh I don't think its an intentional metaphor.

00:17:35: I mean, again.

00:17:37: Again, um... ...I wanted to make this a very Australian story because that's important for me as an Australian artist and I want to celebrate Australian culture.

00:17:46: Um... It was probably one of those things.

00:17:48: if i really look back at the show it can be like oh okay yeah!

00:17:52: I wonder if this

00:17:54: is in a therapy session but sometimes you don't realise do ya?

00:17:57: Yeah

00:17:59: exactly.. I think also making A solo show and it's just me.

00:18:07: And I wanted to sort of combine all the things that i can do in a way, so with my many talents... You know what?

00:18:19: Let us put everything into there!

00:18:20: So yeah.. There is a lot of me on this show.

00:18:27: Yeah ..so again ...I will come back for resilience from queer people surviving through the world everything that they've had to endure.

00:18:39: I think that would be sort of the main metaphor for Grace and her experience in The Outback, pushing through... And continuing to push though even when it is scary.

00:18:53: there's a moment where one or other drag character says to Grace we should just turn back like this does not say if you gotta go back to Sydney and give up on everything and Grace says no!

00:19:03: We have got keep going.

00:19:04: Um, that's what it was all about.

00:19:07: We've got to keep fighting and keep pushing Keep chasing our dreams.

00:19:10: so I think that is definitely something i believe in.

00:19:14: um So yeah

00:19:18: Yeah my drag is under genuine political attack as our queer people All over the world really.

00:19:22: And I guess taking a drag queen Arming her against monsters and making her The survivor feels like A real statement In twenty-twenty six.

00:19:29: And you are bringing Australian drag to an international stage.

00:19:32: The International Stage has thankfully seen some people who were trailblazers in Australian Drag, we've seen them at People Know Them, Priscilla Quinn of the Desert doing a lot of this sort of cultural heavy lifting there.

00:19:43: and what is distinct?

00:19:46: In your opinion about Australian drag versus the UK drag that we see on such drag race UK audiences here more familiar with?

00:19:58: I think I think there's a real sense of humour in Australian drag.

00:20:01: Um, i think that sort of our defining quality um this-this sort of like fun cheeky ozzy larrican style and...I mean you know it's..it's always hard to sort of classify an entire genre of card as this is what it is but i think That's the unique quality that makes it Australian.

00:20:31: The ability to laugh at yourself, I think is a very, very unique Australian quality something we all sort of share in and as much so you can make fun of him or anyone else like us.

00:20:46: and Grace definitely does this show.

00:20:52: As you were saying before, I wanted to do a show where I could just basically show off.

00:20:55: And yeah... When artists do that and they go well i'm good at these things so im going to do that!

00:21:01: Well yes it's your fucking show!

00:21:04: You trained what NICA?

00:21:08: That is

00:21:09: the National Institute of Circus Arts in Melbourne.

00:21:13: OK, you've trained in aerial rope and hula hoops.

00:21:16: Then you did musical theatre... Your whole life's been leading up to this really!

00:21:19: At what point do you think I'm going combine the rope stuff?

00:21:24: You know all of that.

00:21:25: The Hula Hoop is gonna stick in a chainsaw Did only happen when your created partner worked on the show from college?

00:21:41: She initially pitched his idea to me a couple years ago and was like you should do this solo show.

00:21:46: And I was like, solo show terrifying.

00:21:51: So then sort of it's like You know.

00:21:54: maybe one day Maybe one day?

00:21:55: And yeah It was about year-and-a-half ago start up last year that i just was like...I don't think im ever gonna feel hundred percent ready for a solo show.

00:22:04: But how can we make something?

00:22:07: How can y'know again is brings back what I'm saying about like constantly fighting and pushing, you know always battling that.

00:22:18: The best time to do it is now.

00:22:20: You're never gonna feel ready.

00:22:21: just got a throw yourself into it.

00:22:22: And i've learned so much from the process.

00:22:25: But yes in a way my whole life has been leading this moment because I have trained many different things.

00:22:34: I've done circus school or music theater schools perform in many different genres.

00:22:40: So to be able to combine everything is really exciting for me, Harrison as an artist.

00:22:48: and yes there's the ego and showing off from here look at all these amazing things I can do but with a chainsaw because why not you know?

00:22:59: But yeah it's to combine those things in a way that i think This sort of thing before.

00:23:08: I have never anything like this.

00:23:11: No, I've seen a lot of like drag circus stuff before.

00:23:14: we see a lot horror comedy.

00:23:15: We feel a little drag horror.

00:23:17: You know that's the really big thing at the moment has been for awhile.

00:23:21: So there's.

00:23:22: there's been elements of this sort of stuff.

00:23:24: they'd be floating around and said i'll Have A Little Bit Of This A Little bit That.

00:23:30: uh, I read the press release and i was like sounds quite mental but also nothing about it.

00:23:40: creatively jars does it somehow?

00:23:43: this works conceptually?

00:23:46: um can i ask?

00:23:47: obviously going to be a lot of fake blood.

00:23:49: um

00:23:51: night after night must become through liters or that fucking stuff.

00:23:53: I mean what does it do?

00:23:54: What does it due to like?

00:23:56: their costumes like they're cleaning bill?

00:23:58: there's someone going around with a henry hoover at the end of the night just getting all them.

00:24:01: whatever is used for blood tomato sauce...I need to know

00:24:06: We use this stage, fake blood.

00:24:08: I actually do not know what it's made from.

00:24:11: so... It's just fake blood!

00:24:15: I try to get mostly on myself knowing that is a fringe venue and we have shows happening immediately after us pack up and get out there quickly.

00:24:26: I did want to make a mess on stage.

00:24:27: that was one of the things i said.

00:24:29: we set out to make this show, like i wanna start with a nice empty stage and then by the end it's just an absolute mess.

00:24:36: um so apologies to The Stage Management team and also a massive thank you because they're doing...they are getting straight in there with the brooms and everything else.

00:24:46: yeah um uh in terms of cleaning me and my dress over the scene cut for every show, scrubbing out their fake blood.

00:24:55: It washes that amazingly!

00:24:57: Does

00:24:57: it?

00:24:58: Right?

00:24:58: Yeah yeah I mean its stageblood again...I don't know what's made of But

00:25:04: they have to washout doesn't i guess?

00:25:05: but I just never really considered you know the operations of gore onstage.

00:25:12: um..i thought maybe come up dressed straight in a washing machine.

00:25:16: no you're scrubbing by hand.

00:25:17: Yeah,

00:25:19: it doesn't come off skin easily.

00:25:20: It comes of the white dress very like just with water.

00:25:24: But I'm in the shower like scrubbing trying to get her

00:25:26: off every night.

00:25:27: yeah And you're doing this solo.

00:25:30: are you on six nights a week?

00:25:32: A month for a month You got couple days after that your often at twenty-fourth.

00:25:35: isn't our dark day forever?

00:25:36: on the twenty

00:25:37: fourth i've Got there's seventeen and the twenty forth off here at Edinburgh.

00:25:41: so its twenty Twenty four shows in twenty six days.

00:25:45: So

00:25:47: Yeah, I mean the physical toll on the body of six performances a week.

00:25:54: Six nights a week that's high intensity isn't it?

00:26:00: What does the kind of physical toll of a fringe run like or do you not know yet?

00:26:07: Um...I don't know yet.

00:26:09: is this simple answer to that.

00:26:10: This was my first time performing at Edinburgh Fringe so i'm excited and Apprehensive of what the physical toll will be.

00:26:21: Um, but that is definitely one of things That you know I learned at circle school when i was there at nika Is about looking after your body and making sure you're equipped to do.

00:26:32: You knew six nights a week eight shows a week um And i've been blessed to have performed in other shows uh and do sort Of long intense runs.

00:26:41: so So I have had some experience of taking care of my body But free.

00:26:46: I mean, Fringe is a different beast isn't it?

00:26:47: There's a party to go through every night and there sort of this feeling.

00:26:51: if i've got to go To the artist bar in network And i've gotta be they're handing out flyers and you know It can easily so add up.

00:26:58: So trying to make sure i'm Looking after myself me that helps That i have to wash my dress After Every show.

00:27:04: so im going straight home.

00:27:05: Take care Of that yeah and then also making sure looking after My body warming Up cooling down all about Sorta stuff not you know, staying up into the wee hours and

00:27:16: yeah.

00:27:17: The thing

00:27:17: is that the nature of this kind of work is some people nail it don't they?

00:27:22: I'm talking more about the network in bit.

00:27:25: where there are... There's a certain kinda person-I've got really good friend who does this.. I was always shit at it!

00:27:30: I can either go all out and end up a mess with problems or i just sort of stay focused entirely on my work And one of my best friends can do both.

00:27:40: She can stay up till two, but no it's time to go to bed.

00:27:43: at such and such a point.

00:27:43: she Can network with the right people get pissed that they're the right points And still keep this show on the road.

00:27:49: Yeah I can't do that.

00:27:53: What are your plans?

00:27:54: in terms of course?

00:27:55: The fringe part of it is literally being present around the agents and the People who were

00:28:00: out.

00:28:01: another performance Performance isn't it?

00:28:03: i mean

00:28:05: yeah.

00:28:05: how you finding that so far?

00:28:09: um That sort of like theater foyer networking has always been difficult for me.

00:28:16: that's not a situation than I thrive in so i think it's hard.

00:28:24: Yeah, my approach is...I have a lot faith in the show and a lot of faith into work And I'm really hoping that it speaks for itself.

00:28:39: That's emailing people and inviting people to the show.

00:28:42: And I always think that my success is like, when you work with me... You get to see who i am when i'm working or on stage?

00:28:52: When im backstage all those sort of stuff.

00:28:54: so thats what i find.. That i develop those connections more successfully.

00:28:59: Working

00:28:59: With People!

00:29:01: Yeah it was one thing about theatre But interesting, one of the things that I've decided to make this solo show and do it all on my own.

00:29:08: And then I actually really missed the collaboration effort.

00:29:11: I mean, I got Rachel.

00:29:12: obviously we'd been making a show together so that's been really fun.

00:29:15: but even going out there by myself every night is like oh where are my friends?

00:29:19: On stage?

00:29:22: yeah Yeah.

00:29:23: So just finding in ways i think networking work for me and finding what strengths I have.

00:29:33: You always look at the people in, you know... The parties and the foyers or whatever else.

00:29:38: And be like oh they're doing so well with that.

00:29:40: I need to move it maybe a little bit more than this.

00:29:43: but if i'm doing things that come naturally for me Or are interested then find some success there.

00:29:52: That's gonna work better For Me and attract the kinds of people who connect.

00:29:56: Well With That.

00:29:58: I have quick fire few questions All right, quick fire.

00:30:03: Don't overthink them.

00:30:04: Favourite horror film of all time and the one that made Final Queen possible?
